NBA: GOLDEN STATE (2-6) at NEW YORK (2-7)

<h3>Marbury, Knicks continue to struggle, face Warriors</h3>

Golden State (2-6) at New York (2-7) 7:30 pm EST


NEW YORK (Ticker) -- Stephon Marbury and the New York Knicks mustbe happy to return home from one of their worst road trips inrecent memory.


The Knicks aim to snap their six-game skid Tuesday when theyreturn home to host the Golden State Warriors.


Mired in their longest losing streak under embattled coach IsiahThomas, the Knicks went 0-4 on their recent West Coast roadtrip.


The trek was marred by a controversy involving Marbury, who leftthe team last Tuesday upon learning that he would not start inthe team's game against the Phoenix Suns.


A Brooklyn native, the mercurial Marbury returned to the teamthe following day and came off the bench in an 84-81 loss to theLos Angeles Clippers.


Marbury played just 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday'sembarrassing 115-83 loss to the Denver Nuggets.


The Knicks are in their longest losing streak since a nine-gameskid under then-coach Larry Brown from March 19-April 4, 2006.

Conversely, the Warriors have won consecutive decisions afterbeginning the season with six straight losses.


A key to Golden State's success has been the return of forwardStephen Jackson, who was suspended the first seven games of theseason.


Jackson had 17 points and five rebounds Sunday in the Warriors'106-100 triumph over the Toronto Raptors.


The last team in the NBA to earn a victory this season, GoldenState has won eight of its last 10 meetings with New York.

NEW YORK (Ticker) - While the ugliness continued for the NewYork Knicks, the Golden State Warriors were glad for anotherchance to continue their turnaround.


Baron Davis scored 31 points as the Warriors cruised to a 108-82rout over the Knicks Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Stephen Jackson added 23 in his second game back from anseason-opening seven-game suspension. The Warriors have wonboth games with Jackson and three in a row after opening theseason with six consecutive defeats.


The Knicks dropped their seventh straight game and fell to 2-8through the first 10 games.


This one was their first since point guard Stephon Marbury wastold by coach Isiah Thomas he was not starting and then flewhome from Phoenix before returning to the team Wednesday in LosAngeles.


Marbury was restored to the starting lineup after being areserve in the previous three defeats. He was greeted with booswhen he was introduced and on any occasion he touched the ballearly on.


Thomas also was greeted with boos during introductions and a fewfans chanted "Fire Isiah." Their vocal calls for Thomas'termination became increasingly louder as the Warriors took a13-point into halftime.


Davis scored 11 points in the opening period and his three-pointplay with 5:18 remaining put Golden State ahead, 16-15. TheWarriors never relinquished their lead and used runs of 10-5 and13-5 in the second to gain further control.


Davis scored five points in the initial run and Jackson scoredfive in the final 4:20 of the first half, including a 3-pointerthat put Golden State ahead by double digits for the first time.

The Warriors failed to extend their lead as they missed theirfirst eight shots of the second half and nine of their first 11.The Knicks were within nine on a David Lee basket with 6:18remaining that prompted Golden State coach Don Nelson to call atimeout.


The Warriors eventually restored their double-digit lead with a9-3 run that gave them a 77-62 advantage through three. Theresulted in more boos for New York and an increase in the chantsfor Thomas' firing.


Golden State finally put the game away in the early minutes ofthe fourth as reserve Austin Croshere converted an uncontestedbackdoor layup for an 86-70 lead with 9:05 remaining.

By the time Monta Ellis hit a 15-footer for a 92-73 edge with6:09 left, many in the crowd headed for the exits but some whostayed increased their volume in their anti-Thomas chants.

In his first appearance in front of the home fans since a 75-72loss to Miami on November 11, Marbury scored 18 points in 38minutes.


Zach Randolph recorded another double-double with 15 points and16 rebounds.


Randolph's scoring and rebounds were among the few positives forNew York, which had 15 turnovers by halftime, 22 through threeand 29 overall.
